Can rebar be bent with this tool by itself or do I need additional tools?

I slide the rebar through a piece of steel pipe if I'm putting 90 degree bends in it. If it's #5 bar then I clamp the pipe in my table vise and also put a piece of rebar into the tool handle for leverage. If I'm bending rebar that is sticking up from a footer, then I stabilize the rebar with the tool at the bend point and use the pipe for the bending. #5 bar is a bear. #4 is cake.

bend 90 degrees ? 2-3 ft rebar?

Yes you can easily use this to bend a 90 but you will have to use a pipe to slide the rebar into. Lay the pipe on the ground slide the rebar in, stand on the pipe and use the hickey to pull the bar up into a 90. It’s not optimal a bender is nicer but we bend 90s with these on the fly all the time

How tight (radius) can you bend 3/8" rebar?

According to the manufacturer a 1.8" diameter bend is the tightest the BNHYBR-16 can bend 3/8" rebar.

how easy to bend 20' 1/2 rebar in 3 into a U with this?

Ideally you would use a manual bender cutter combo tool for easy 90 degree bends. Here is a strongly recommended one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNCZ0Y6. I've seen posts from others indicating a hickey bar like this could be used along with a piece of steel pipe to put the rebar through and then the rebar can be bent as needed while standing on the steel pipe. Hope that helps.
